Flight

Every October

when geese lift

from summer ponds

my world leaves too,

and I am helpless in this.

I hold the same V-lines

in the palm of my hand

and someday, I will go too

and be with them.

I am helpless in this.

	You say all you must to create a marvelous poem however the two short verses seemed abrupt--which takes nothing away from the poem itself but gave me a sense of urgency--which I certainly hope was NOT intentional. Love it! =) ~Barbara D.~ Respond To This Comment
